Adolf

Not

haye
they
won
so
far.
They
marched
an
army
into
Egypt
and
immediately
bogged
down
at
Sidi
Barrani.
In
other
words
the
British
hogged
them
down.
They
were
.allowed
to
advance
to
the
place
where
the
British
wanted
them
and
there
they
stuck
until
the

with

of

and
others,
proceeded
to
drive
them

into
Libya.
They

Possibly
they
will
be

out

Africa.

Those
British
and
French
fprces
In
Egypt
were
rather
slow
getting
started
but
when
they
did
start
they
fought
like
devils.
In
this

against
Italy
It
